Yes, you can actually make cell phone calls with your Arduino now. The real star of this build is the new GSM Shield library.

An Arduino is equipped with a piezo sensor to detect impact, and a GSM shield takes care of the texting. It’s an interesting concept, similar to requiring police officers to wear body cameras.

This will allow the development platform to connect to the internet via GSM mobile phone networks. The module, or shield, was developed in conjunction with Telefónica’s Physical Internet Laboratory ...

Arduino devices have had the option of a GSM linkup for awhile, but getting that cellular link to truly strut its stuff hasn't always been easy, even for those of us who'd be inclined to program ...

Arduino has two new boards out which deliver connectivity - the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 (LoRa) and the Arduino MKR GSM 1400.

Real Time Home Security System using GSM Technology-An Anti-theft System! This project deals with the design & development of a theft control system for home, which is being used to prevent/control ...

The GSM Shield also includes a Telefonica SIM card that includes a worldwide data tariff which can be used anywhere there is a cellular signal.

The tiny Arduino development board measures just 50 x 32 mm and is equipped with a ATmega328 microcontroller and the latest SIM800H quad band GSM module. watch the video after the jump to learn more.

If you've mastered the art of Arduino, but haven't yet been brave enough to toss in a bit of GSM communication, the how-to guides linked below definitely deserve your attention.

It comes with either an Arduino board or the Cinterion EGS5 kit that is designed for developing prototypes in industrial scenarios. Developers who already have the hardware required can order the M2M ...
